Calif. wildfire stalled by record low temperatures
WRIGHTWOOD, Calif. — A low-pressure system that’s brought record low temperatures to Southern California is helping firefighters battle a blaze near the mountain community of Wrightwood.
The fire in the San Bernardino Mountains was 75 percent contained Wednesday morning and hadn’t grown. Evacuation orders for thousands of people were lifted on Tuesday.
The fire burned one home and 7,128 acres of brush and timber, or more than 11 square miles.
Lows dropped below freezing overnight, but forecasters say the cool weather is slowly moving out of the area.
National Weather Service forecaster Andrew Rorke says the high Wednesday will be a couple of degrees warmer than Tuesday — about 56 degrees.
But Rorke says winds are light and good firefighting weather continues.

Top scientists say revolutionary clean power climate control project will reduce wildfires and dangerous weather while improving the lives of billions of people. Climatologists, biologists and physicists from all corners of the globe agree that U.S. based Gravitational Systems, L.L.C.’s revolutionary clean power climate control project INDRA will improve the lives of billions of people around the world. Gare Henderson, director of research and development for Gravitational Systems, L.L.C. ( a clean power developer), explains that the INDRA project, a proposed network of specialized evaporation channels moving sea water from the oceans toward the deserts, will convert world deserts into biodiverse rainforests. Deserts which cover 1/3 of all dry land will be terraformed into productive land. The INDRA systems will give mankind control of the weather, ending dangerous storms such as hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, and dry heat waves within a decade. Vast rivers can be turned on and off in hours, and reservoirs and salt marshes drained or replenished in days. The increased bio-mass of the terraformed deserts will begin to reverse both global warming and thermal sea level rise. |
